I know the vids a little old now. But congrats on getting it started and driving under its own steam. A red vh as a trackcar has so many memories. I had one very similar.
Hey matty, hole in the throttle body is required for cammed engines, idle controller cant feed enough air on its own. We used to do it all the time at the shop, that hole looks bigger than we would drill, but its common practice.
The coolant passage through the throttle body is only for areas where the ambient temperature can freeze the blade, ie Alaska. I deleted mine and bypassed straight from the heads to the coolant return.
Great video series. Question regarding your catch can. Where did you buy the large catch can from? Can you please provide link and part number if possible? Thanks Muzza
Great to see it driving after all the effort! What were the clearances like on the steering once all was done? And was the tune put in just a clubby map or was it a bit more timing/fuel?
Clearances were still bugger all! It all fits ok, just a pain in the ass if I ever want to remove the rack (the motor of headers will have to come up). The tune is a tweaked one from a similar specced car on an actual dyno. So not just a straight clubby map.
Hey man can you help out a kiwi! Doing same conversion in a vc and am up to the power steering hook up don't know which is high pressure from pump and which is return, so your saying the smaller fitting in the rack is the pressure side and larger threaded fitting is the return? I'm using a vl power rack. Any help would be appreciated, cheers Tim.

Yes we've had the car for about 10 years now and it's been awesome. I bet you regret getting rid of yours!
@@MarslandMotorsport i have a ls1+t 98 wrx now as a track car. Nothings simple or std but its nuts fun
@@WahringRaceWorks I used to have a GC8! my god that would be fun. Where can I find footage of this insane swap?!
@@MarslandMotorsport check out my TH-cam channel. Got a bunch of thru out the build. Slowly getting the times down to somewhat respectable level

Yes Matt did say it was a tweak for cammed engines, didn't think it was done regularly though. Ah well, no cam in mine (yet) so new one suits better
Only found your videos today man. Loving the process and editing!!
Thanks very much!

Yeah a bit unnecessary in Australia! Ah well everything is hooked up now and seems to all be working well
As long steam vent does get routed to the radiator. Bypassing the throttlebody is no prob

Made it myself from pvc pipe!

@@MarslandMotorsport Must be a relief having it all running. Keen to see the next vid (and to get started on my own LS swap later this year)
@@dmvtechnology yeah I'm pretty stoked now. Well worth the effort!
Hi m8 what OTR intake did you use
Not sure of the brand sorry! Fitted a VX though
@@MarslandMotorsport no worries I’ve got a pod filter on atm bit restricting

Yes correct mate. The smaller sized thread is the high pressure side! Don't make the same mistakes I did!
